Yaakov Asher, head of the United Torah Judaism (UTJ) bloc, has outlined three conditions for the ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazi party to join the governing coalition. In an article published in the Yated Ne'eman newspaper, Asher stated that UTJ does not automatically belong to any bloc. The primary condition for joining the coalition, according to Asher, is to regulate the status of yeshiva students through a conscription law. He also emphasized the need to maintain the status quo on religion and state issues and preserve the independence of ultra-Orthodox education systems. Furthermore, UTJ rejects any interference in the curricula of ultra-Orthodox schools and opposes making the funding of these programs conditional on the study of general education subjects. Sources close to Asher indicate that without the fulfillment of these three conditions, UTJ will not join the government.
